The Lazy Zone Diet - Health 2

The Lazy Zone Diet is a diet and lifestyle plan that divides your food portions per meal to ensure the best results. There are several rules to follow in this diet plan. The most important rules are to begin each day with a zone meal within the first hour of waking up. Each meal should include the correct portions of protein, carbohydrates and fat. It is important to eat three meals a day and two snacks which will equal five meals a day. You should avoid pasta, bread, grains and starches while implementing more fruits and vegetables into your diet. Water is an essential part of your diet, you should drink 64 ounces of water each day to hydrate your body and flush your system. During the course of this diet if you miss a lazy zone diet meal don't get discouraged you can make it up by making sure your next meals are zone diet meals. The zone diet follows a formula. 40% of your calories should come from carbs, 30% from protein, and 30% from fats at every meal. The thing about the zone diet is that it really isn't that different from what dieticians have been telling us all along. Trying to limit your fat intake to 30% of calories is tough, so you could almost consider this a low-fat diet. With this diet you should be able to continue your daily lifestyle without giving up all the foods that you enjoy. There are no foods that are completely forbidden on the Lazy Zone Diet, it is just important that when eating certain food you consume in moderation. Certain foods and beverages such as potatoes, white flour, white rice, sugar, corn, grapes, carrots bananas, alcohol, sodas, juices and caffeinated drinks should make up no more than 25 percent of any meal. Also, Limit starches and sugars. When they are eaten, always balance them with adequate protein and good oils. Avoid hydrogenated oils (in processed foods and margarines) and trans fats (in fried foods). Also, the zone limits the amount of food you can eat by counting the number of "blocks" of carbs, proteins, and fat. This is similar to methods used at weight watchers. For this reason I consider "The Zone" to be a fad diet, and also a healthy way of eating. But also, let's be realistic, some meals are bought at McDonalds, many use simple ingredients, and you even get to go to a real restaurant on the last night. This makes the Zone diet easier to follow as there are no particularly tricky ingredients, wacky foods, or insane limitations on consumption. It is easier to follow long term also, as it can become more of a lifestyle as opposed to a short term restrictive diet. The pros of the Zone diet include following a moderate eating scheme quite similar to what our grandmother may advise us of. It encourages neat eating, with five small meals that are easier to track, as well as eating vegetables and raw fruits frequently. It limits saturated fats and encourages mono and polyunsaturated fats that are known to be richer in HDL — “good” cholesterol. The diet insists on the importance of fresh water, with eight glasses every day are recommended. Zone promotes exercise and consumption of lean meat, which is less dangerous for the heart (fish and poultry instead of beef or pork). No zone diet research has been conducted in a serious, academic manner. If it has, no results have been published. It limits the consumption of foods rich in essential minerals and vitamins: calcium, iron, vitamins A, D, E, folic acid. It limits the consumption of fiber from whole grains and starches. The zone is considered a low-carb and a low calorie diet. It stimulates loss of glycogen storage (which is 75% water). It deprives the body of its favorite source of energy (glucose) and supplies high amounts of protein. In the burning processes the protein releases nitrogen that can harm the kidneys. It promotes food as a drug, an idea that has nothing to do with aesthetics, cuisine and taste therapy. The idea of eating can become slightly boring or in extremist,...

...Versus The Zone: A Controversy in the CrossFit Community
Lindsey Maloney
College of Charleston
CrossFit, founded by Greg Glassman, has been around since 2000. While it is built around an intense workout regiment, it also requires a strict diet. The controversy between which diet to use, has been alive since the beginning of CrossFit’s time and remains an issue today. Which is the better diet, Paleo or The Zone? While both have similarities they also have many differences. They also both have advantages and disadvantages in their programs. This is a controversy that will probably never end, and leaves people having to answer the question, which diet will you choose? Before making any decision it is helpful to know about both sides of the argument. Doing the research on both the Paleolithic approach and The ZoneDiet will help to determine which diet is more beneficial.
The Paleo diet is based on the consumption of fish, lean meats, vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, and healthful oils (olive, coconut, avocado, flaxseed, macadamia, and walnut). It does not condone the intake of dairy products, processed food, refined sugars, grains or legumes (Cordain, 2002, p. 23). Paleo is a way of life and for our ancestors in the Stone Age, this was their way of life as well. With that being said, Paleo is in a nutshell (no pun...

Unit 2: Communication and Values
[Type the author name]
Introduction:
In my report I will show my understanding and knowledge of the importance of communication skills in care settings and about values involved in care practise. I have chosen to do my report on educational settings and I will focus on how individuals with specific needs communicate in both group interactions and one-to-one interactions. I will do this by working in a class on both Thursday and Friday mornings where the pupils have specific needs. I will observe the communication with the teacher and students and also the communication between the students and myself when I take on the role of the teacher. Also, I will take into account the barriers that effect communication such as; cultural differences, Language differences, difficulty in understanding accents and physical disabilities such as hearing problems or speech difficulties.
I have chosen to focus on individuals with specific needs as I am interested in how people with specific needs communicate. For example, a woman named Helen Keller who was born in 1880, was deaf, dumb and blind and learned to communicate through feeling the vibrations of a person’s face when they spoke.
I also would like to see how practitioners react and respond to individuals with specific needs; how they adapt their voice and body language to suit the student. For example, how they change the tone,...

Diet Analysis 2
Throughout my long military career, physical fitness and nutrition have always been a major factor in my life. There is more to living healthy than just exercise. Knowing nutrition, as well as proper dieting, goes hand and hand with exercise. Portion control and knowing nutritional values help ensure a path to a healthy lifestyle, however, exercise needs to be maintained.
Being deployed away from home cooking, it’s not always easy to get the healthiest and more nutritionist foods. I have always maintained healthy eating habits. A normal day for me is to start my breakfast off with something light like oatmeal and fruit. I also like to drink my milk in the morning time. Lunch and dinner typically consist of either fish or chicken. I only eat grilled, boiled, or baked meats. I stay away from fried foods. I normally have a salad with either lunch or dinner. I will drink either water or un-sweet tea. I stay away from carbonated drinks as much as possible.
The Food Pyramid gives us a guideline of the different nutrients and servings we need on a daily basis. It’s a guideline that even I am guilty of not getting all the correct nutrients of everyday. I strive to follow the Food Guide Pyramid everyday but I fall short sometimes. For...

2. What are the nutrients found in healthy food?
Answer: Carbohydrates can be found in rice, bread. Fats like fatty acids, like vegetables, seeds and marine oils. Vegetables are also rich in grain products, and fibres (which make possible the whole process of digestion), also contained in certain types of fruit and in whole grains. Proteins are another highly important constituent of our body (contained in skin, hair and muscles) and only by consuming aliments such as meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, dairy and soy products can we help the damaged cells by providing them with the compounds much needed.
Vitamin supplements can nowadays be bought in almost every store, many of them being also available in specific products.
Minerals are an usual element of certain kinds of foods, but they can be ingested separately.
I understand: That nutrients found in healthy food are mostly what our body requires the most, and there is a lot of nutrients found in healthy food.
